Thanks, wanted to see how well they fill out with offsets and sizes, I like my stance, but the P.O. did spacers, going to remove that setup. Really need to get that B pillar repainted.

Yes, I keep going back to this style! Hard part is making sure you get the size you want, before dropping the 4k.

I see that one of your choices for front is 18 x 8.5 ET46. I run an 18 x 8.5 47 on my silver car and the fit is great.

It appears that your only "close" 10 inch choice for rear is 18 x 10 ET 54. My silver car runs an 18 x 10 ET 62 on the rear. So the RH will be 8 mm closer to the fender than silver car setup and I don't suspect that will be a problem if your tire width is within reason and some negative camber exist. Perhaps someone with that RH wheel size can comment?

What size spacers and why do you want to get rid of that setup?

I like the height, those wheels are knock offs, and no matter what I keep going back to the Speedline style of the Turbo S.

I have CS Springs on the front and back is indexed to match. So the height is nice, have not scraped yet, always did on my 951, so go figure. No wheel rub.

Wheels are stock 17 inch offset and sizes for a 968.

I don't recall the spacer sizes.

The best 'safe' setup from that list:
18 x 8.0 52 Silver w. Polished lip 5 x 130.00 $999.00
18 x 10.0 54 Silver w. Polished lip 5 x 130.00 $1,079.00

And for a more aggressive setup:
18 x 8.5 46 Silver w. Polished lip 5 x 130.00 $1,019.00
[camber, not too tall of tire]
18 x 8.5 59 Silver w. Polished lip 5 x 130.00 $1,019.00
[5-10mm spacer, maybe 2.5" springs]
18 x 11.0 65 Silver w. Polished lip 5 x 130.00 $1,099.00
[10mm spacer, some camber, secure e-brake cable inward]

Thanks, I assume by safe you mean minimal chance of having to roll fenders?
